Use the alternate point on the bottom of your mb, i did that, 20 times easier and it's a larger point

use a solderless adapter ;)
Otherwise, search for the bottom d0 point.

It's really pretty simple.
Using the alternate d0 (on the back of the board), put a little solder onto the wire, let it cool. Hold the wire onto the d0 point, touch the soldering iron onto the wire so the solder melts onto the point. Just like press the wire against the board a little bit, then let go. The solder will stick to the point.
To summarize:
- Tin your wire. - Put wire on d0 point. - Touch wire with soldering iron for a second. - Remove iron.
